Low Carb Keto Kale Salad with Lemon Shallot Vinaigrette

Jim Gaffigan does a funny bit about kale.

“Can we stop with the kale propaganda? That stuff tastes like bug spray. I was looking at a can of bug spray. It said MADE WITH KALE.” – Jim Gaffigan

Ok, he’s not completely wrong.

It really does kind of taste like bug spray. But it’s so good for you! When people say “Eat your veggies” kale is what they are talking about. So we need to do everything in our power to make it taste better.

I’ve got two tips for successful kale consumption.

#1 Massage the leaves to make them less bitter and

#2 Coat the kale in a really good salad dressing.

If you follow these two rules, then you’ll get a super healthy kale salad that only vaguely tastes like bug spray.
